The mystery player in the trade is Donte Greene most likely. The chronicle just named him but they didnt sound sure but when I checked this http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/014187.html, it names Donte Greene as one of the trading pieces. Donte Green + 1st rounder+ Jackson + cash considerations for Artest
im all for it. artest is a super star level player. get him for 2nd rounders and a washed up vet is a complete steal
Feigen also reported that other players could be added to make the contract match. I just hope it's not Chuck. Maybe Novak? On another note, if the Rockets are doing a 3 for 1 here, they might have cleared up enough roster spots to sign Mike Harris.
I wouldn't want to lose Chuck either, but according to the article (assuming he's got good info) the other players are not ours... We've got too many players to keep, we don't need more of theirs. Just the one is fine.
The rumor for months has been the Kings were insisting that any team trading for Artest's contract would have to take back Kenny Thomas' salary. So I'm calling the final trade as: Rockets get: Artest Kenny Thomas Sacramento gets: Bobby Jax 1st Round pick Donte Green Steve Francis Luther Head Chuck Hayes Steve Novak
That's a joke right? Because it would only contradict all of the articles out there - we're not trading away half of our players...just 2
My manager who's a big time Kings fan wishes it was Dorsey in the deal instead of Greene, because they lose too much defense and toughness and the Kings have enough swingmen
